"Hello Youtubes!" - Ronald Jenkees
Posted by Alex on Saturday May 2nd 2009 at 15:33.
As listeners to past shows have heard, every now and then we talk about some sort of musical talent found on the internet. Some of those may be accidental and not talented, such as the Beefy craze, or the rap of the Kersal Massive; but we've included such things as song covers on the Ant and Lex show which have been found on Youtube.
Well just looking at random videos on Youtube yesterday evening I came across this guy: Ronald Jenkees. From the first video I saw I got a good idea of what hes about, and basically he makes music using his Music Keyboard, backed up with beats created himself using FL Studio (Used by famous electronic music artists such as Benga and Skream).
He seems to have a good ear for musical composition which can be noted when he starts playing his songs on his Youtube videos, and the way he puts his music together is something I can relate to after dabbling in music production and definately makes his videos for an interesting watch. Now if im honest, the music he makes is not what I normally listen to, but his skills cannot be put down when talking about him. He claims to have not stuck with lessons, and has played by ear since a young child. This just shows how skills can be picked up and mastered without the need for expensive lessons and education.
His debut album is out and available in a hard copy from his web store, or alternatively if you just want the songs digitally you can buy them from the iTunes store, using the link on his website.
Anyway, check out his videos!
Song Of The Week 27/04/2009: T9 - Oda Nashei Lyubvi
Posted by Alex on Saturday May 2nd 2009 at 15:33.
As a non-Russian speaker, information about T9 is pretty sketchy. Last.fm thought it was a Chinese rock group, and Google thought I was interested in predictive texting. Basically they are a Hip Hop group from Russia, and my favourite of their songs (which is my Song of the Week for this week), is Ода нашей любви (Oda Nashei Lyubvi), which made it onto the soundtrack for the video game Grand Theft Auto: 4. Its featured on the Russian music station within the game called Vladivostok FM, and despite not even getting recognition on the Wikipedia page for the GTAIV soundtrack, is one of my favourite tracks from the game.
If you are in the UK or US, you can listen to the song using Last.fm by clicking here

VW Players and Prept - Brands Hatch
Posted by Alex on Thursday August 7th 2008 at 15:33.
Went to Brands Hatch last night to take a look at the hottest German cars this country has to offer, and tried my hand at snapping up photos while on the move... This was also my first time taking photos in overcast weather. Should have bought a tripod!
Was an amazing night; many, many cars turned up, and was great to see the cars I had only seen in pixels before.
Here is a selection of requested higher res pictures, and some lightened versions from my flickr.
See the rest of the pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/3media-lex/sets/72157606592310023/
If you would like to have a high res picture from my flickr, leave a comment on the blog and I will sort it out for you.
Thanks to 'Sum1s Dad' from E38 / Kent-VW.tk for giving me a lift up to the show.

Wii Fit + Guitar Hero = Extreme Embarrassment!
Posted by Alex on Wednesday July 2nd 2008 at 15:33.
I really need the exercise, and Wii Fit really isn't enough for my extreme fitness regime; so we decided I should add a little rocking out exercise into the work out...

Advertising 3Media Goes To New Lengths
Posted by Alex on Thursday February 15th 2007 at 15:33.
On the same theme of Counter Strike, only this time for the PC, we decided to take advantage of the sprays on there to advertise 3media on the online multiplayer servers.
Seemsing we have been lacking on site hits, we thought we should try advertising on Counter Strike: Source, using our sprays while playing online against the public. We know the site wasn't on the advert, but if they were interested, they could always search for us. (Actually, Anthony forgot to put on the site address, this is just our cover-up story)
Here are the pictures I took, both were taken on fy_iceworld
